“Read more…” teasers on your practice website

Curious about how to get your blog to display just a “teaser” of your posts, where the reader has to click [Read more…] to get to the rest of the article? It’s easy, using the Read More tag. Putting “click here for more” teasers on your practice website can make your blog page much more readable. Indeed, you should use teasers on your practice website for any category page on your website with many entries.

Login to your TherapyEverywhere website.

Navigate to the post that you want to use as teaser.

Click on the location where you want to end the teaser. (This is where the post will “cut-off” when the post is displayed on a category page.)

Click Insert Read More.

If you prefer to add the <!–more–> tag in text mode, just click on More when your editor is in text mode.

Click Save Draft or Update.

Help! I want to add the “Read more…” teaser in the middle of a paragraph

If you are having trouble adding “Read more…” teasers on your practice website in the middle of a sentence or between sentences:

Click on Text to switch to Text mode.

Click on the location where you want to the <!–more–> tag.

Click on More.

Click Save Draft or Update.

Can the Read More text be customized in the teasers on your practice website?

Yes. Some people prefer different text, or even special characters such as » » » ».

The formatting and styling can also be controlled. You might want your read more text to appear in a different color, bold and italics. For example:On the Edge of Your Seat? To learn more about how you can learn how to function better at work and at school, click here » » »

When a blog or other category page has “Read more…” teasers, you can use Google Analytics to get valuable insights into what posts most engage visitors to your site. Are visitors most interested in “rebuilding trust in your marriage” or in “stop having the same fight”? Tracking what leads visitors most often to click on “Read more…” is a great way to find out.
